Two women walking in a courtyard on Radisson Court were shot tonight, but they weren't the gunman's targets, Syracuse police said.

The women were hit when one man opened fire on a second man about 9:52 p.m., said Sgt. Tom Connellan. One of the women, in her 30s, died later at University Hospital. The second woman, in her 40s, was listed in stable condition there.

The women's names weren't available late tonight.

Radisson Court is located in the Pioneer Homes public housing complex, just south of downtown Syracuse.

Police have a sketchy description of the suspect. They remained on the scene late tonight.
